Collaborations

On March 4^th, at Paola Lenti’s Showroom in Milan, an amazing night unfolded with the event Beyond the Horizon – Shaping a New Vision of Elegance at Sea. A unique collaboration between Paola Lenti and Model Maker Group created the incredible setting for an exclusive event featuring Espen Øino.

In this prestigious venue, the Ulyssia 320 mt scale model, produced by MMG, served as an amazing centrepiece, attracting the guests present to admire it closely. Thanks to Ulyssia Residences AG CEO Alain Gruber, for making it happen.

Throughout the night world renowned naval architect Espen Øino shared his vision on the future of yacht design and the importance of using innovative materials combined with signature design.

A unique celebratory gathering to reward the students of Master in Yacht Design of the Politecnico di Milano, that were invited to design a yacht outdoor space in line with Paola Lenti’s philosophy.

Model Maker Group had the honour of creating the prizes, and COO Giuseppe Capobianco as a member of the jury, had the privilege of handing them out to the winners.

A special token was gifted by MMG to all the guests, a miniature armchair “Sabrina” signed Paola Lenti and designed by Espen Øino. An item of design, part of the MMG collection, created to showcase beautiful design, meticulous craftmanship and incredible collaborations.

The event had a great attendance, with over 200 guests present, it truly represented an inspiring opportunity for the new design generations to meet the pillars of the nautical industry.

From the 8th to the 13th of April 2025, Milan became a centre of innovation where designers and design enthusiasts came together to discover and appreciate the latest trends in the design industry.

For Model Maker Group, a terrific opportunity arose to partner with Paola Lenti, a collaboration that fused textile innovation with model making precision.

This project was discussed and shared between MMG CEO Eng. Elisabetta Fantasia and Paola Lenti’s team, encouraging MMG to be present at Milano Design Week with three different scale models, all furnished with Paola Lenti’s finest furniture. Couches, chairs, tables, rugs: every piece a representation of the shared ambitious standards for design precision, sustainability, and great diligence.
